CxAXiEis LUGEA, sp. Ji. (Plate XXXU. fig. 5 <^ .) 



d". Allied to C placida, de Nicev., much smaller. Uppersicle 

 uniform dull greyish silvery blue, margins more narrowly black, 

 cilia greyish. Underside pale brownish grey, with the spots and 

 markings arranged as in C. placida, but with the exi-ejjtion of two 

 on the costa and the marginal row, also on the hind wing, which 

 are blackish, of a dull brownish grey, but slightly darker than the 

 ground-colour. 



Expanse \^ inch. 



Kina Balu {Wuterstr.). Mus. Staud. and Druce. 



This is a small, dull-coloured butterfly, which appears to be 

 distinct from any described. I have not seen the female. Below 

 will be found described another species which I believe to be 

 new '. 



CiANiEis 8£LMA, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 10 S -) 



S . Allied to C. c<elestina, Kollar. Upperside pale shining 

 silvery blue, brighter and more shining than in that species ; black 

 apical border slightly wider. Underside : spots arranged as in 

 C. ccelestina, with the addition of faint marginal rows of spots which 

 are most conspicuous in the hind wing. The two black spots 

 close to the costal margin on the hind wing, which in C. adestina 

 are usually not more noticeable than the other spots on the wing, 

 are in this species larger and more conspicuous than any others. 

 The marginal row of spots on the hind w ing shows through to the 

 upper surface. Cilia shorter. 



Expanse Ij'^ inch. 



Kina Balu ( Wuterstr.). Type Mus. Staud. 



C. xelma should be easily distinguished from C. cwlettlna by its 

 brighter blue upperside. I have not seen the female. 



Ctaniris stbophis, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 4 rf .) 



<S • Upperside deep lavender-blue, colour of C. placida, which it 

 closely resembles, having, however, narrower and more even black 

 margins. The underside exactly as in C. dilectissivia, mihi, but 

 the spots and markings not quite so deeply black. 

 Expanse 1-j^ inch. 



» Cyaniris piiuste, sp. n. (Plate XXXIV. fig. 17 S ■) 



Upperside dull violaceous blue, rather grejer than C. placida, which it re- 

 sembles on the upperside, with rather broader black borders. Underside 

 greyish white, with a linear dark streak closing the cell of each wing, a very 

 J'aint, scarcelj' perceptible zigzag line crossing the wings beyond the middle, 

 then a darker subraarginal line composed of crescent-shaped marks enclosing a 

 marginal row of dark sjjots common to both wings and darkest towards anal 

 angle of hind wing ; a very fine anteciliary dark line to both wings. Cilia grey, 

 with dark spots at the termination of the nervules. 



E-xpanse 1| inch. 



Hah. Dili (JF. Doherty). Type Mus. Druce. 



This is not the C. duponchcUii, Godt., which we have also from Dili, obtained 

 by Mr. Doherty, and which is close to C. piispa on the upperside, and has the 

 lower spot of the discal series on the fore wing below enlarged into a consider- 

 able blotch.
